International applicants

Around 41% of our students come from outside the UK. We expect our international applicants to have qualifications of a similar standard to our UK applicants - information about the application process and entry requirements can be found below.

Further information

If you wish to study in the UK for more than six months,
and you come from a country outside of the EEA, you need to apply for a
visa under Tier 4 of the UK's Points-Based Immigration System. In order
to do this, you will require sponsorship from a university licensed as a
sponsor by the UK Border Agency, such as UCL.

As part of your visa application, you will have to be able
to demonstrate evidence of sufficient funds to pass a maintenance test
and of your educational qualifications and academic progression by providing proof of your
results, for example, your school-leaving certificates.

If you are intending to study in the UK for less than six
months, you will officially need prior entry clearance only if you are a
'Visa National'. However, we strongly advise all students from outside
the EEA to seek prior entry clearance, even if coming for less than six
months.
